North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's daughter made a public appearance again, this time with missile scientists and more honorific titles as her father's "most beloved" or "precious" child. She's only about 10, but her new, bold photos are deepening the debate over whether she's being primed as a successor. The daughter, believed to be Kim's second child named Ju Ae and about 9 or 10 years old, was first unveiled to the outside world last weekend in state media photos showing her observing the North's intercontinental ballistic missile launch the previous day with her parents and other older officials. The daughter wearing a white puffy coat and red shoes was shown walking hand-in-hand with Kim past a huge missile loaded on a launch truck and watching a soaring weapon. On Sunday, the North's official Korean Central News Agency mentioned her for the second time, saying she and Kim took group photos with scientists, officials and others involved in what it called the test-launch of its Hwasong-17 ICBM. KCNA described her as Kim's "most beloved" or "precious" child, a more honorific title than her previous description of "(Kim's) beloved" child on its Nov. 19 dispatch. State media-released photos showed the daughter in a long, black coat holding her father's arm as the two posed for a photo. Taking after her mother Ri Sol Ju, who wasn't visible in any of the photos Sunday, she had a more mature appearance than in her unveiling a week ago. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and his ...

Like so much about the secretive supreme leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un’s family is shrouded in mystery. It is believed he has three children, but the names of two of them are unknown, as is the gender of his youngest child. But in recent months, his daughter Kim Ju-ae, who is believed to be about 10 years old, has been making numerous high-profile public appearances alongside her father, most recently at the March 16 firing of an intercontinental ballistic test missile. These appearances have led to speculation that Kim Jong-un, 39, is grooming Ju-ae as his successor, which would position her to become the first female leader in North Korea’s history. Other observers, however, stressed that such speculation could be premature, as little is known about the inner workings of the Kim family or the elder Kim’s succession plans. Born Into Luxury and Secrecy Ri Sol-ju and North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un in September 2018 Getty Images It is believed Kim Jong-un has three children: Kim Ju-ae, an older brother whose name is unknown, and a younger sibling whose name and gender are unknown. Neither of Ju-ae’s siblings have made public appearances. Their mother is Ri Sol-ju, who is believed to have married Kim Jong-un in 2012. Kim Ju-ae and her siblings are said to live in a seaside estate in Wonsan, in the southeastern province of Kangwon. The property has swimming pools, water slides, soccer fields, tennis courts, and a sports stadium. It is believed she is homeschooled in Pyo...

On Sunday, the North’s official Korean Central News Agency mentioned her for the second time, saying she and Kim took group photos with scientists, officials and others involved in what it called the test-launch of its Hwasong-17 ICBM.

Taking after her mother Ri Sol Ju, who wasn’t visible in any of the photos Sunday, she had a more mature appearance than in her unveiling a week ago. “This is certainly striking. The photograph of Kim Ju Ae standing alongside her father while being celebrated by technicians and scientists involved in the latest ICBM launch would support the idea that this is the start of her being positioned as a potential successor,” said Ankit Panda, an expert with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. “State media underscoring her father’s love for her further underscores this, I think. Finally, both of her initial public appearances have been in the context of strategic nuclear weapons — the crown jewels of North Korea’s national defense capabilities. That doesn’t strike me as coincidental,” Panda said. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un with his daughter on Nov. 18 at an undisclosed location in the secretive communist state.

North Korean state media said that Kim had observed the launch of the state’s new type of intercontinental ballistic missile with his wife, Ri Sol Ju, other officials, and his “beloved daughter” on Friday. Kim said the launch of the nuclear-capable Hwasong-17 missile proved he has a reliable weapon to contain It was the latest escalation in months of provocations from Pyongyang, but attention was suddenly focused on the daughter whose existence had never been publicly confirmed before. North Korea’s Rodong Simmun newspaper revealed a series of images of Kim and his daughter, who wore a puffy white coat and red shoes to observe the soaring missile from a distance with her father. Kim Jong Un, 38, is the third generation of the Kim dynasty to rule over the reclusive state but has not publicly declared an heir, making the identities of his children a source of strong outside interest. Kim is believed to have three children, born between 2010 and 2017, with his wife Ri, a former singer. In 2013, retired “This is the first observed occasion where we have seen Kim Jong Un’s daughter at a public event” Michael Madden, a North Korean leadership expert at the Stimson Center, told Reuters. “It is highly significant and represents a certain degree of comfort on Kim Jong Un’s part that he would bring her out in public in such fashion." The images were the “optics of handing down a legacy,” said Jenny Town of 38 North, a Washington-based North Korea research organization, on Twitter. “...
